Filmed in 1988 at the Miami Arena, with a sold-out, enthusiastic audience, Gloria Estefan is a marvel in this well-filmed concert from the early days of her incredibly successful career. The musicianship of the Miami Sound Machine is also terrific, and they put on a show that is full of energy and pizzazz. Gloria looks stupendous, with flawless skin and a glorious mane of hair, with 2 skin-tight costume changes, and an electric personality. My favorite piece is the stupendous "Conga," and Gloria dedicates "Words Get in the Way" to "The Ballad King," Julio Iglesias, who is in the audience, and takes a bow. There are 2 medleys sung in Spanish, as well as part of "Anything for You," and the rest is sung in English. The guys in the Miami Sound Machine deserve a lot of credit, and they are: Bass: Jorge Casas, keyboards: Clay Ostwald and Jim Trompeter, percussion: Rafael Padilla, trombone: Teddy Mulet, trumpet: Randy Barlow, guitar: John De Farria, sax: Mike Scaglione, and drums: Kiki Garcia. The audio and visual quality is very good, and total running time is 80 minutes.

This is the best of Gloria--this definitely needs to be on DVD. Like others have said, this was classic gloria from the late 80s, when she was young & had energy--like all of us once did. That is why we buy these things to remember. PUT THIS OUT ON DVD!!!!

This is the video of the concert tour for her album "Let it Loose." It's a great mix of her work from the first 3 English albums. Gloria looks and sounds great. I wish I could have been there.

This is a classic concert. And I agree that it should be released on DVD. "Words Get in the Way" performed accousticly with John and Jorge on guitars, "FANTASTIC". Or how about Gloria looking "Caliente" wearing jeans covered by some leather cowboy stuff. Next year I went to the concert in Rotterdam, but she didn't wear the outfit. Hahahha. Should have asked my money back. No, seriously. This tape is EXCELLENTE (Y CALIENTE?).

I agree to everyone here. This video should be released on DVD. Gloria is so beautiful and energetic along with her fantastic and talented musicians, Miami Sound machine. They were all having fun on stage unlike the rest of her concerts, MSM became her backup band.

I would definitely get one if this would be out on DVD...

I love them.
